Bath repair for Lavington Sands homes

Bath repair in Lavington Sands, done in place

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and snagging damage from a refit, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Have new chips seen to early

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repair or replace: which is better?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Your questions about bath repair in Lavington Sands

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

When to call us in Lavington Sands

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Chips caused by builders

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
